a_1_222_1 would result in "a" and not "a_1_222". Fixed.
15.05.2005 - Fix sending files by mail with xsend_file dialog via
show_olog and show_queue.
18.05.2005 - Added new options sohetx, wmo and sohetxwmo to convert

08.06.2005 - When searching for next file group in DIR_CONFIG we did
not check if this was commented out. Fixed.
17.06.2005 - lookup_dir_id() always had one byte for CRC calculation
that was not initialized, thus always generating different
CRC's for the same directory name.

STDERR_FILENO.
- When --enable-setuid_progs is set, the program udc must
also have the SETUID bit set.

- When updating DIR_CONFIG and a retrieving job has been
removed, it could happen that other retrieving jobs that
terminate would write to the wrong position in FRA.
22.09.2005 - sf_xxx deleted files that had dates in the future when
age limit was set. Fixed.
24.09.2005 - Increase speed for initial visualizing of afd_ctrl and
mon_ctrl dialog.
02.10.2005 - Dialog dir_info now shows all directory options.
03.10.2005 - Function check_fra_fd() incremented a wrong variable when
a retrieve job was removed. Fixed.
- If we kill a retrieve job that has just been removed from
DIR_CONFIG, remove its zombie too.
05.10.2005 - In FRA remember what was in DIR_CONFIG. This helps
to make a better reconstruction of DIR_CONFIG with command
line tool get_dc_data.
09.10.2005 - When doing a scp transfer, show correct colors in job
details dialog.
10.10.2005 - Function get_dir_options() would some times list every
single minute, instead of a single *. Fixed.

is set in [dir options] in afdcmd and dir_ctrl.
16.10.2005 - Font for menu 'Search + (De)Select' was not changed when
we changed the font for the dir_ctrl dialog.
- New parameter for afdcmd to enable/disable a directory.
17.10.2005 - Added event handler to error host list in mon_ctrl dialog
to close this list if we click on it or move mouse cursor
away from it.

14.11.2005 - Update next check time in FD even when retrieving is
disabled.
21.11.2005 - In check_file_dir() check if the directory actually
contains files. If not just silently (just debug) delete
the directory.
22.11.2005 - From dir_ctrl dialog selecting one or more directories
will now show up in show_ilog, show_olog and show_dlog
dialog.
- In httpcmd.c we may not send an empty line in the HTTP
header. This always happens if there is no authentication.
Fixed.
24.11.2005 - Sometimes some jobs get handled twice by FD. This is because
there is a small time frame where both FD and AMG think they
are the only process in control of the message queue. This
is hopefully fixed by adding more locking at critical
moments.
28.11.2005 - When attaching to FSA or FRA we do not check if the
current code is able to handle the stored version. This
should catch the case when someone uses new binaries
without restarting AFD or mixing old and new binaries.
29.11.2005 - With rename option when files would overwrite each other
AFD would per default append a ; and a number to the name.
The ';' has now been changed to a '-'. Reason is that
some FTP-servers do not allow this and under *nix is
a bit odd to handle.
30.11.2005 - When opening job details window, do not resize the main
window, just the popup window.
06.12.2005 - Some Motif versions need -lXp, configure should now detect
this. This is needed for debian with openmotif.
07.12.2005 - If we try send the data from some log output to some email
address and we fail because we do not have write permission,
retry this time using /tmp.
- asmtp failed to separate mail header from message body.
Fixed.
08.12.2005 - When calling remote commands via mon_ctrl, make full path
to the rafdd_cmd/rafdd_cmd_ssh script optional.

----------------------------> Version 1.3.2 <------------------------------
---------------
15.12.2005 - When specifying a / in time option in any of the possible
field, except for min field, could lead to AMG going into
an endless loop.
18.12.2005 - Function check_permission() may not write to system_log.fifo,
it may deadlock because process system_log is not running.
22.12.2005 - Selecting one or more directories in dir_ctrl dialog will
now also show up in show_queue dialog.

place, kill any open windows to this host.
24.01.2006 - Fix a bug in function eaccess() that could lead to a crash
of AFD.
26.01.2006 - Make the number of process that may connect to afdd
configurable in AFD_CONFIG (via MAX_AFDD_CONNECTIONS).
29.01.2006 - Support for SFTP, sending only.
10.02.2006 - Process sf_ftp could crash during a debug session when it
was deleting previous old temp/dot files. Fixed.
12.02.2006 - Added possibility to not set type image when doing FTP
transfers.
18.02.2006 - Option to set socket send and receive buffer.
20.02.2006 - Enabling directory from dir_ctrl dialog works again.
22.02.2006 - Enabling/disabling an AFD in mon_ctrl works again.
23.02.2006 - Fix error in ETR_SOCKET_NSL M4-macro which used CFLAGS
instead of LIBS.
- Startup/Shutdown afd did not work when fake user was used.
24.02.2006 - Added check for whether the compiler provides a working
long long.
02.03.2006 - Fixed another error in the function that evaluates the time
entry, which could lead to AMG going into an endless loop.
06.03.2006 - Do not give a user full permission if afd.users file exists
but user cannot read the file for whatever reason.
09.03.2006 - Support for duplicate checks on a per host basis.
- In function check_files() we must remove a CRC from
the dupcheck list if we fail to pickup the file.
15.03.2006 - When checking if files in the input directory have the
correct permissions, we failed to check for supplementary
groups.
16.03.2006 - Implemented group transfer limit.
21.03.2006 - When doing pexec show what command we currently execute
in the job details window.
28.03.2006 - For option pexec show in TRANSFER_LOG what we are doing
and how long it took to execute the command.

01.04.2006 - Process FD may not perform a file dir check when process
dir_check has queued messages.
05.04.2006 - Dialog show_queue sometimes showed wrong data or even
crashed, because it was using a variable wrong. Fixed.
06.04.2006 - Hopefully improved SSH/SCP login procedure.
07.04.2006 - Fixed some errors in grib2wmo options.
- Initializing AFD or AFD_MON should only delete files
belonging to them.
11.04.2006 - For protocol SCP and when we are doing a burst we must
also check if the target directories are the same. Since
SCP protocol does not support changing directories.

show_queue did not work when fake user was used from
dir_ctrl.

files to WMO files (10 byte length/type indicator plus
SOH and ETX at start and end).

total values.
27.07.2006 - Process afdd now sends some statistic data to afd_mon.
02.08.2006 - For the option 'file name is header' allow for a dot being
the end of the header information.

features.
08.08.2006 - When a retrieve job is removed by hand, it would always
popup in the queue again, because we forgot to calculate
a new fetch time.
09.08.2006 - Error jobs for retrieve jobs where not aging in the queue.
Fixed.

12.08.2006 - Added extended commands EPRT and EPSV for FTP.
17.08.2006 - Implemented for HTTP fetching to continue an interrupted
download where it stopped just before the interrupt.
18.08.2006 - Added handling of directory listing for HTTP. Currently
we can handle only a few listings from Apache web servers.
More will be added.
20.08.2006 - For the option 'store remote list' added parameter 'once'
to retrieve files only once. This is useful for directories
with lots of files and when the protocol forces us to poll
each individual file for any changes in modification time
and/or size.
23.08.2006 - Made directory option 'store remote list' now also work
for local directories. For this reason the option is renamed
to 'store retrieve list'. The old option name will still
work for a while, but will eventually be removed.

directory is empty. Added a workaround.
24.09.2006 - Show the number of directories scanned on a daily basis.
27.09.2006 - If the text in the mail body had a leading dot, AFD did
not add another dot as specified in RFC 821. Fixed.

secondary host.
- When showing information in the show_queue dialog, show
the directory alias of a job.
29.09.2006 - When disabling a directory and it is one retrieving files
from a remote host, we need to remove the job from the queue
in process FD.

that do not update the modification time of the scanned
directory correctly.
16.10.2006 - The view_dc dialog sometimes shows garbage at the end. Fixed.

dialog. Fixed.
30.10.2006 - Accept " when specifying the file name for option 'mail header'.
31.10.2006 - When we fail to create a directory or even when we do not
have sufficient permissions, we now accept it. Before we just
ignored this directory. This behavior had the disadvantage
that one always had to restart AFD once the directory was
added.
06.11.2006 - When the host alias name is equal or longer then
MAX_HOSTNAME_LENGTH (8), don't put the switching number/letter
at end when logging in TRANSFER_LOG.
07.11.2006 - Renaming for options "attach file" and "attach all files" did
not work. Fixed.
- Implemented an error queue that stores the job ID's of broken
(ie. those that do not work) jobs. So if for example the remote
directory of one job is not available, but another job with
another working directory to the same destination, will no
longer be blocked.
08.11.2006 - Dialog afd_ctrl could crash when a parallel transfer was added
or removed from a host. Fixed.
- In rename.rule allow user to specify rules with spaces.
09.11.2006 - The send button in show_olog and show_queue dialog did not
work for other users under certain conditions. Fixed.
- If dialogs cannot open $AFD_WORK_DIR/etc/afd.users file due to
permissions, give out some more meaningful messages.
- When process FD is stopped it must ensure that sending process

06.12.2007 - Added parameter -C to view_hosts to cut away any additional
alias names.
- Dialog show_queue shows wrong directory when called with

AFD and the permissions of AFD are such that it may not
delete the files, AFD would always copy all files from
that directory as soon as a new one arrives. This is now
fixed by removing the destination file when we fail to
unlink the source file.
14.02.2009 - If file gets deleted during transmission (age, duplicate

---------------
30.11.2009 - Improve detection of XPM support.

readable format.
16.12.2009 - The option dupcheck did not work correctly during a
burst. Fixed.
17.01.2010 - Handle case when no port number is specified in URL.
- When evaluting DIR_CONFIG we need to fool function
url_evaluate() with dummy values so it does more syntax
checking on the URL.
19.01.2010 - Standalone program fax2gts.
20.01.2010 - Add support to convert DWD data type to WMO data type.
23.01.2010 - Fix bug when user echos output to stdout or stderr

then tries to start multiple AFD's.
- Added option 'mirror source', to mirror a directory.
01.02.2010 - Added AFD_CONFIG option FORCE_REREAD_INTERVAL to specify
an interval at which each source directory must be
scanned, regardless if the modification time changed

------------------------> Released: 22.02.2010 <---------------------------
----------------------------> Version 1.4.2 <------------------------------
---------------
01.03.2010 - Option extract would add an _ at the end of the file name
when WMO header has a space sign at the end. Fixed.
04.03.2010 - When initializing AFD with 'afd -i' we now delete
all binary database files, that is everything in
files/crc, files/incoming/file_mask and

of options specified in DIR_CONFIG.
- Increase the number [options] from 10 to 15.
07.04.2010 - In afd_ctrl dialog doing a search did never show
up any host which used protocol SFTP. Fixed.
24.04.2010 - Added option -H to extract option, to remove the WMO
header.
30.04.2010 - Fix two errors in accumulate directory options. One that

first time with a new directory in DIR_CONFIG. The other
error was that if the source file is of zero length.
19.05.2010 - set_pw did not always set the password if the passwd
for a source needed to be set. Fixed.
20.05.2010 - When afdcmd starts, stops, enables or disables it should
do this in an atomic manner. It just toggled the flag, so
if the command was called twice at the same time the state
of the flag would not change. Fixed.
26.05.2010 - In edit_hc dialog show correct Transfer Blocksize.
10.06.2010 - Fix error extract_cus(), that caused delete logs with
incorrect information.
30.06.2010 - Close output log cache files if process output_log is
not busy.
05.07.2010 - If SSH server sets attribute bit, ignore it but take
into account that we have read 4 bytes. Otherwise further
communication with SSH server will fail because we are
off by 4 bytes. MySecureShell sets this and AFD fails
to communicate with it. Fixed.

12.10.2010 - Reset FTP server reply when we reconnect when changing
user.

- If starting of AFD is blocked via 'afd -b', handle this
properly in afd init script.
19.10.2010 - Make init scripts more LSB conform.
------------------------> Released: 20.10.2010 <---------------------------
----------------------------> Version 1.4.3 <------------------------------
---------------
21.10.2010 - Added option BINARY to extract option to extract single
binary data from a bulletin.
- Fix configure error where it complains about WITH_XPM
when setting option --with-gui=none.
27.10.2010 - Added convert option iso8859_2ascii to convert german
Umlaute.
10.11.2010 - Synchronize parent and child when dir_check executes
something. This kills the bug that you could suddenly
have two or more dir_checks running doing the same
thing.
11.11.2010 - Added parameter R, w and W to the %t parameter. See
documentation for more details.
18.11.2010 - If keep connected is set the fetching process need to
check if their position in the FSA changes.
25.11.2010 - In function init_msg_buffer() handle the case that the
structure connection is not yet setup. Otherwise process
fd will under certain conditions always crash at startup.

pexec option.
27.11.2010 - When a host is disabled process fd must collect the
zombies of the process that distributed data.
02.12.2010 - When function check_files() fails to move/copy files
be more verbose why it failed.

it can sometimes fail with an unknown error.
03.12.2010 - Fix an error where some reports where not extracted
from a bulletin.
- Added flag to the HTTP command set to store commands
that do not work. This helps for example if some
systems are not able to handle the HEAD command.
14.12.2010 - Fix an important buffer overflow in init_afd. Thanks
to the brazilian met office (INMET) for helping me
to fix this!
16.12.2010 - When we fail to create the directory to queue files
we not to log the files we fail to move in DELETE_LOG.
20.12.2010 - Transfer some log output from system log to transfer
and receive log.
04.01.2011 - AFD now checks if the port picked for afdd process is
not in the dynamic port range of the system. On linux
it will lookup this value in the proc filesystem.
Thanks to Hermann Schwarting from EBP for the hint.
06.01.2011 - Added search button when viewing DIR_CONFIG data.
18.01.2011 - Added lchmod option to do a local chmod.

----------------------------> Version 1.4.4 <------------------------------
---------------
04.02.2011 - If we fail to determine the working diretory show how
we are being called. To disable this just comment out

in DIR_CONFIG and in AFD_CONFIG. Fixed.
10.02.2011 - Under some Motif versions the summary line at the bottom
of some dialogs was not shown if the font selected was
very small. Fixed.
11.02.2011 - Speed up searching in dialog show_ilog and show_olog when
we specify a directory.
15.02.2011 - Added extract option to add an additional header in report
indicating the report type.
17.02.2011 - In rename.rule allow the following case: nsc????.* /*/nsc????.*
That is more then one asterix if we have only one in the
filter part.
- Update documentation on message structure send by AMG via
fifo to FD.
21.02.2011 - In edit_hc pressing the button Name+size duplicate check
had no effect and was just silently ignored. Fixed.
23.02.2011 - Added extract option to add the report type in the file
name.
NOTE: As of this version when extracting reports, the

14.03.2011 - Added extract option -d to add full date to bulletin
name in the following format TTAAii_CCCC_<year><month>YYGGgg.

17.03.2011 - Fixed long standing bug in process fd that could lead to
fetching jobs be started more then onced when DIR_CONFIG
is being updated.
31.03.2011 - If directory option dupcheck is set and the queue is stopped
for any host that is getting data from this directory the
data is being deleted as soon as the queue is opend again.
Fixed.

the internal process list if we must remove it there too.
- If system supports it, show user and system CPU usage of
childs created by process AMG and FD.
27.04.2011 - In fra_view correct some output that was not shown
correctly.
28.04.2011 - When we remember what files we retrieved locally we must
handle the case that we do not do a full scan of the source
directory. This bug could lead to more files being retrieved
then necessary.
29.06.2011 - For option 'convert sohetx' do not create files of zero
length if the file already contains a SOH and ETX.
19.07.2011 - Added a default configuration file AFD_MON.
17.08.2011 - Be more verbose when we are unable to locate a users

unique name as follows:
<job creation time>_<unique number>_<split job counter>
Here an example: XXX -> 4eb28696_898e_1f0
04.11.2011 - In function that handles the evaluation of the URL, handle
case when the server= part is to long. This could lead to
a buffer overflow.
05.11.2011 - Fix many buffer overflows and other errors or redundant
code with the tool smatch (http://smatch.sourceforge.net/).
08.11.2011 - Properly delete everything when we issue an 'afd -i' or
'mafd -i'.
25.11.2011 - When sending files local with scheme file and we use the
pexec option, we must use the pexec option on the source
file NOT the destination file!
27.11.2011 - Added scheme exec to execute some command to transmit the
data.
28.11.2011 - During a burst it can happen that the DEFAULT_SMTP_FROM

16.01.2012 - Made size of log files SYSTEM_LOG, TRANS_DB_LOG and EVENT_LOG
when they get rotated configurable in AFD_CONFIG.
24.01.2012 - Remove all strcpy() calls in combination with argv[] where
we did not check the length of the input data.
- Put in length check when using scanf() to read strings.
02.02.2012 - Added a 'Select all' button to the dialogs show_ilog,
show_olog, show_dlog and schow_queue. Note with large

and openmotif.
01.03.2012 - Fix bug in afdd that could lead to an endless loop.
10.03.2012 - During a burst it could happen that sf_smtp could forget

one of the retrieving jobs (gf_xxx) terminates.
07.05.2012 - For the option "mail header" it now possible to specify a
rename rule identifier. Since the optional parameter to this
option can also be full path to the mail header file it is
important that the rename rule identifier does NOT start with
a /.
09.05.2012 - When retrieving files we must check the length of the file
names if they do have the correct length.
- Process init_afd was logging some data to stdout, which
then landed in DAEMON_LOG.init_afd and not TRANSFER_LOG
and TRANS_DB_LOG.
12.05.2012 - Added option to check if the file send matches the local
size after being send.
13.05.2012 - Process init_afd may not exit when it fails to stat() the
files directory. This can be a temporary status in network
storage or on virtual systems.

---------------
14.06.2012 - In some cases AFD did not detect that it fails to attach to
its internal database.
- Function check_files() could crash due to an incorrect
size check.
15.06.2012 - To locate an error in function calc_next_time() we extended
the parameters so that the caller can give the information
who is calling it.
- Dialogs show_dlog and show_olog did not show any results
when called from dialog dir_ctrl and a directory was selected.
20.06.2012 - When asking for HTTP options some servers return additional
information in human readable form. This was considered in
the code and it could happen that AFD gets out of order and
thus lossing connection.
- Downloading a file via HTTP could sometimes lead to a timout,
because we tried to read an additional block beyond the end
of the file.
04.07.2012 - Remove a buffer overflow in afdd when it evalutes directory
information.
11.07.2012 - Automatic configuration failed when some files already
existed and would then fail to start. Fixed.
13.07.2012 - Function copy_file() should also keep the modification and
access time of the original file. Thanks to Sibylle Krebber.
14.07.2012 - Process dir_check could crash with certain configuration,
because function create_db() did not calculate the correct
amount of memory for certain structures. Thanks to David
Bridgman for reporting and providing configuration files
reproducing this.
26.07.2012 - fra_view now shows all values of dir_flag.
29.07.2012 - Process fd now resets the queued flag properly when it starts.
03.08.2012 - For function ssh_login() use O_NONBLOCK to get around problem
where select() tells us there is data but when we try to
read() there is none. The solution with an alarm() had the
big disadvantage that it took very long and was very noisy.
06.08.2012 - Added option to timeout a transfer.
- With the -c parameter of set_pw it was not possible to specify
a user name that had a @ sign. Fixed.
08.08.2012 - Added initial support for IPv6.
24.08.2012 - Add date field to SMTP header as this is required by RFC 822.
06.09.2012 - Added assemble option WMO+DUMMY to assemble files with WMO
length indicator and with a dummy length indicator at end.
17.10.2012 - With the option subject in combination with %s do not
complain that we can only handle one %s during a burst.
- set_pw would only set the password of the first user of
the target host when using the -c parameter.
18.10.2012 - gf_http can now also fetch empty files. Thanks to Gary Ofield
for reporting this!
- When reorganising the internal queue of process fd, we
sometimes get the position in FRA wrong. This could lead
to several jobs trying to retrieve the same thing.
26.10.2012 - Fix an error in show_ilog dialog when it is called with the
-d parameter and you want to print something.
27.10.2012 - When hardlink protection is enabled in Linux warn the user
about this and then copy the file. This is a big overhead
but it is better then losing the file.
04.11.2012 - When automatically initializing database due to some variables
having being changed, only remove those parts that are really
effected.
- In afd_info dialog make active passive sign work again.
05.11.2012 - If the remote SMTP server sends a Mail Queue ID, it is now
stored in OUTPUT_LOG and shown via info click.
10.11.2012 - Fix a bug that AFD would put files in the wrong directory
after a burst and in the job before all files are deleted
because of duplicate check and/or recipient.
- In show_dlog handle case when filename does have unprintable
characters.
11.11.2012 - For dialogs show_queue, show_olog and show_ilog handle the
case when filename does have unprintable characters.
13.11.2012 - During a burst we must initialize the password.
19.11.2012 - In show_queue check if a retrieve job falls in the given
time span.
- Don't always detach from CRC file when we check for each
individual file of a job or directory.
24.11.2012 - Added support for another CRC type which also supports the
harware CRC on some CPU's which have SSE4.2.
- Reorganise edit_hc dialog so that it fits on screens with
resolutions below 1024x768.
28.11.2012 - Initializing AFD with 'afd -i' is now much less destructive.
- Allow users to set the initialization level from 1-9 where
9 is the same as -I, ie. most destructive.
------------------------> Released: 29.11.2012 <---------------------------
----------------------------> Version 1.4.6 <------------------------------

04.12.2012 - make rpm did not work when configure was called without any
arguments. Thanks to Andrea Nenni for reporting this.
06.12.2012 - Fix a bug in bin_file_chopper() that can lead to dir_check
crashing.
10.12.2012 - In afd init script the status command returned 7 if service
was not running. LSB states that this must be 3. Also the
output of the status command is not always right. Again
thanks to Andrea Nenni for finding this.
18.12.2012 - During TLS/SSL initialization via FTP notice when remote
side does not allow command PBSZ.
25.12.2012 - Process init_afd now also checks for possible stuck transfer
jobs. If it finds any, it will try to terminate this
process.

Rezende for reporting this error.
27.01.2013 - Added scheme exec to execute some command to retrieve the
data.
29.01.2013 - Fix an error where show_olog does not print data to a file.
30.01.2013 - If we cannot change back to the home directory in sf_ftp,
do not show an error. Just inform the user and reconnect.
01.02.2013 - Added support to make timeout in dupcheck fixed, ie. not
being cumulative.
05.02.2013 - Since the dialog edit_hc modifies the FSA when the alias
order changes, we need to set the correct umask so it gets
the correct permissions.
07.02.2013 - Added %e configuration parameter to allow one to execute
a command to determine part or the full directory name.
Thanks to Bill Welch for this idea.
11.02.2013 - Don't set a default SSH port. If none is specified take the
default of the SSH client.
15.02.2013 - The assemble option WMO+DUMMY was wrongly evaluated as an
extract option.
- Added extract option WMO+CHK which checks if the end really
contains an ETX and if not searches for it towards the end.
26.02.2013 - Fix error when afd_ctrl dialog could not save setup
configuration into the local users directory when sticky
bit has been set and AFD does not have permission to
look into the users directory.
28.02.2013 - The transfer timeout had not been considered for the
system call connect(). This has now been fixed.
01.03.2013 - In function exec_cmd() be more verbose when the maximum
read buffer has been reached.
07.03.2013 - Added function sftp_chmod() to change mode with protocol
SFTP. Unfortunatly, the protocol is not so clever that
it can be done via attributes structure, at least with
openssh this does not work. Sad!
09.03.2013 - When retrieving files from a remote host and we split
up the downloads between sveral process we sometimes
would not count the number of files correctly.
10.03.2013 - Handle case where system does not have the directory
/var/lock/subsys.
16.03.2013 - Process dir_check did always cut of the last character

(untested!).
- When keep connected for gf_xxx is set always show in
intervals what we did in TRANSFER_LOG.

directory option. Meaning to delete unknown file immediately.
27.04.2013 - Added FTP FEAT command.
28.04.2013 - Added support for FTP MLST type directory listing (RFC 3659).

a similar new one, it now warns the user that they are being
deleted.
20.05.2013 - Simplified code of function check_files() by deleting lots
of duplicate code.
21.05.2013 - When sending files locally, do the chmod before renaming
the file.

maximum limit.
10.06.2013 - Added HSTAT command to afdd to show host statistics.

correctly.
19.06.2013 - Added button to show_olog dialog to show archived files only.
28.06.2013 - In diaologs SYSTEM, RECEIVE, TRANSFER and TRANSFER_DB, handle
the case when it does not read the complete line.

afd_ctrl, dir_ctrl and mafd_ctrl dialogs.
- Added more warnings when directory options are not correct.
05.08.2013 - When specifying the name of the DIR_CONFIG in AFD_CONFIG
and the name was not DIR_CONFIG, AFD would refuse to start.
Fixed.

via the convert option.
23.08.2013 - When stopping a host via afd_ctrl dialog, the user gets ask
if he really wants to do it.
25.08.2013 - In afd_ctrl dialog added option to have compact process
status.
29.08.2013 - In show_ilog, show_olog and show_dlog dialog we now unmap
from the internal database as soon as possible to narrow
the window where it can crash due to a job being removed.
30.08.2013 - Fix error in HTTP code where we sometimes did not read the
last chunk when remote side uses chunked encoding.
07.09.2013 - Store some important data in system independant format.
ASCII text files.
12.09.2013 - Changing the VIEW_DATA_PROG in AFD_CONFIG could lead to
a SIGSEGV when viewing files via show_olog and/or show_queue
dialog. Thanks to Alexander Maul for finding this.
15.09.2013 - When changing values in header files (MAX_NO_PARALLEL_JOBS,
MAX_HOSTNAME_LENGTH, etc), try recover some important
values that are lost due to database changes.
17.09.2013 - During HTTP retrieve if we fail to find the directory, do
not remove all information we stored about the files retrieved
so far.
- If the directory where we retrieve data from a remote system
has time information in the diretory name (%t) and keep
connected is set for this host it could happen that AFD never
changes the directory due to time change. Fixed.
23.09.2013 - When doing trans_rename with FTP, rename the file in the
final directory.
26.09.2013 - Show more accurate transfer rate numbers with topview.
29.09.2013 - Make some numeric values configurable via configure script.
01.10.2013 - When alda ist started in continous mode (-c or -C) it did
not notice when a log got rotated. Fixed.

trigger the time event. Thanks to Bill Welch for this idea.
14.12.2013 - Added option 'check size'.
15.12.2013 - Added directory option 'max errors', to specify the maximum
number of errors that may occur befor the directory
becomes red.
- Fix error in gf_xxx where it ignores the 'Allow burst'
flag, thus endlessly fetching files from one directory.
- Added directory option 'do not parallelize'. To speed up
the process of fetching files from a remote host and there
are many files in one directory, it creates more processes
to fetch from this directory. This can have the disadvantage
that it can take quite long before it fetches files from
another directory on the same host. When this option is
added it will just use one process per directory for fetching
files.
16.12.2013 - In rename.rule when not specifying which * or ? we want to
adress can be the cause of a crash of the program using
function change_name().
23.12.2013 - To make errors more visible in dir_ctrl dialog, make the

---------------
30.01.2014 - Function isdup() wrote the check time of the CRC database to
the first element of the database, which is wrong.
31.01.2014 - In afd.users file we did not check the full users name for
permission. Only part of it! Fixed.
02.02.2014 - Add support for own IP cache.

section of DIR_CONFIG.
03.05.2014 - Add support for evaluating normal FTP LIST command with
the help of ftpparse() by D. J. Bernstein.
08.05.2014 - For function change_name() we calculate the date for %t
option with localtime() and not gmtime(). In this case it
is wrong to use UTC time, better take the local system time.
Thanks to Bill Welch reporting this.
10.05.2014 - If someone has entered a reason via the handle_event dialog,
always show this reason before any static reason ('Ignore
error+warnings' in edit_hc dialog).

handle_event.
12.05.2014 - Added option "hide all group members" for SMTP, to hide
all member of a group.

22.08.2014 - Fix a possible error in afd_ctrl dialog when the number
of connections to the last host is changed.
12.09.2014 - Implemented option 'file name is header' for sf_local, ie.
local copying.

16.09.2014 - Fix buffer overflow in process monitor_log, transfer_log and
receive_log.
20.09.2014 - If we check the size after we transmitted the file and we
detect that the size does not match, we must remove this
file from the duplicate list when duplicate check is
configured. Otherwise the file will always be deleted,
when we try to resend.
09.10.2014 - Log everything we retrieve to OUTPUT_LOG.
10.10.2014 - Added support for SMARTTLS when sending mails.
13.10.2014 - Accept a comment line in DIR_CONFIG directly after the

home directory was missing. This is normal in some HA
environment.
- Speed up the startup and shutdown process of AFD.
- Fix error that it was not possible to specify a file name
under [files] with spaces.
- From the show_olog dialog it was not possible to view files
in the archive that had a space in the name. Fixed.

selecting any host shows all configurations.
- Made the search dialogs of afd_ctrl, dir_ctrl and mon_ctrl
more user friendly (hopefully).
- Correct some errors when drawing detailed selection and
the line style in afd_ctrl dialog is of type compact.
------------------------> Released: 01.12.2014 <---------------------------
----------------------------> Version 1.4.8 <------------------------------
---------------
04.12.2014 - In asmtp if we specify the from address, send this to
the mail server.
12.12.2014 - Alda did not consider shorter output log lines for

to fast again. So wait a bit longer before it is activated
again.
30.01.2015 - When using the send button in show_olog and/or show_queue
dialog and AFD_WORK_DIR environment variable is not set
it did not work. Fixed by parsing this via the -w parameter.

system supports the strcasestr() function, the search
will now by default be case insensitive.
27.02.2015 - Added parameter -r to pexec option, to allow user to force
the execution in the target directory. Otherwise it is
executed in some internal AFD directory. This only works
with scheme file, ie. when the directory is local.
03.03.2015 - Fix an error when view_dc is called via afd_ctrl dialog.
It would sometimes show configuration data of all hosts

IGNORE_FIRST_ERRORS in AFD_CONFIG, this value was set
to zero. Fixed.
- Made the value for IGNORE_FIRST_ERRORS configureable
via afdcfg. The value can now be viewed via afdcfg -s
or fsa_view.
01.04.2015 - Added support for file group entries in DIR_CONFIG.
15.04.2015 - Function url_insert_password() fails to insert the
